perfect crockpot turkey chili

I’ll update on some personal stuff in a bit, but today we’re going to talk about thick, rich, crockpot turkey chili. It’s relatively healthy, quick to prep, and can be done for relatively little money. Throw it together the night before or the morning of, dump it in the crockpot, set it to low, and enjoy in the evening. I do the bulk of our grocery shopping at Aldi, and you can get every ingredient in this recipe there–even the ground turkey–for so much cheaper than any other grocery store.

Serve with whatever you like–we use a nice shredded sharp cheddar and honey cornbread.

This is one of my favorite fall/winter meals, especially on my workout days when time is tight in the evening and I want a protein-packed meal after lifting. I love the flavor that the fire roasted tomatoes bring–I started using them in a crockpot ziti recipe I found and they add such a beautiful depth, along with the brown sugar (which helps to cut the acid of the tomatoes).

*Don’t be afraid of salt! Salt means flavor–you can add spices and no or not enough salt and have something still be bland. Also, something something our bodies need salt to function.
